well, that’s just it, the devs could make an event of the WW1, nothing too complex, even if temporary, the players could use the editor to create more complex maps using the vehicles, weapons and soldiers of the event, imagine how crazy several maps made by the community with a WW1 theme, or a simulation map with kilometers in length, oh man I really want to fly a fighter of the first world war or a mark IV, that would have great potential
Devs have stated they are interested in using community content for events. Best way to make a WW1 event happen is to make some WW1 maps with the editor.
Many players love this!
Anyone seen Lost Battalion?
Would make a great ww1 scenario
Argonne Forest
the more i think about that post, the more i’m convince that they don’t… actually mean what they say.
i’m sorry but even if that would be even remotely possible, the editor needs a substantial updates and a new team ( no, not replace the current one, but expand it )
because for example, half of what op is asking it ain’t even duable. without support from officials.
( as we can’t import models. we can’t modify current ones outside how they function but not how they look )
due to uniforms, majority of ww1 weapons and even one single vehicle from ww1 are lacking.
more questions than answers.
Yes the limits of the editor at the moment definitely constrain creativity. Myself and people I know have attempted to make cool maps that just aren’t possible in the editor in its current form. Hopefully they expand it.
Yes, this part is not doable. However, in the dev post they did mention that they would go in and edit the missions for balance. I don’t think it would be impossible for them to also add some WW1 equipment/uniforms for the usable squads during the event for a custom map that players have made.
There’s no way around the lack of ww1 vehicles though.
To be honest, we are completely ready for a WW1 campaign… we really only need 5-6 maps based on major historical battles and the gameplay and weapons for the most part are already in-game…… just need player models and vehicles and it’ll be stellar!
I agree, it’s not something from another world, it could easily be implemented as a temporary event or something like that, because most of the weapons are already in the game, it would only be enough for the devs to copy a model of tanks and planes that already exist in the game and change the model for ww1 tanks and planes, other than that it would be enough just to make a custom profile for the soldiers
Yes!! I personally perfer WW1 over Cold War or Mordern Warfare.
Because the weapons and the uniforms can fit in current gameplay perfectly. WW1 uniforms are not too different from the WW2 uniforms that are currently in game. Main weapons are all bolt-action rifles with some trench guns. I think in the future they can be kept in the tech tree rather than temporary event.
The only differences are the vehicles.
We can have a new WW1 campaign rather than just an event!
